The Eternal Search to Find One's Self: Flash Fiction and Beyond

The Placebo Effect

If you could create a painless, inexpensive cure for a single ailment, what would you cure and why?

If I could create a painless, inexpensive cure for a single ailment, I would want the most horrid disorder gripping our society today: myopic- egocentric- absurdious. The symptoms: a selfish-self-serving desire to seek the rise of one’s own importance at the expense of all those around one’s self. If fact, if there is a way to stomp and climb one’s way to the top without any self-effort, but by demeaning and belittling those around one’s self, that is the order of the day.
